VOTED "BEST IN CLIENT SATISFACTION" 2005, 2006...AND 2007! Seattle Magazine & Northwest Home and Garden "Stick with Stone" as your advocate and get the results you need. "A STONE'S THROW" For May... In an article just released from Forbes, the best place to get a good buy on a home is an area where there is healthy job growth and more houses available than people to buy them. Forbes selected what it considers the 10 best cities for house hunters based on markets where the damage from risky lending hasn’t been as dramatic as in some parts of the country and where employment will burn off an over-abundance of inventory quickly. Seattle ranks number seven in their list! If you're thinking about buying or selling soon, let's talk -- I can provide the guidance you need to get the results you want. As always, I pledge to deliver to you the highest level of service and to make your every real estate experience a positive and enjoyable one. I look forward to working with you this year to realize your real estate goals, wants & dreams. When you're ready, contact me and remember to "Stick with Stone"...you'll be glad you did.

About Appraisals >Refinancing Your Home
Interest rates fluctuate as changes occur in the general economy. If you purchased your home when interest rates were higher, you may want to consider re-financing your loan at a lower rate.
You will have to apply for the new mortgage and have your current income eligibility assessed. Depending on how long you have had your present loan, a current appraisal may be required. There are closing costs, such as attorney, title fees, recording and notary fees, and appraisal charges. The biggest factor in your decision should be the length of time you plan to remain in your home. If you will be there for only a year or two more, it might not pay to re-finance. If you will be in your home longer, re-financing could provide you with lower mortgage payments. Your real estate agent can help you work out the numbers and can refer you to reputable home appraisers and mortgage lenders.
